Severin Films is preparing a Blu-ray release of Juraj Herz's Ferat Vampire (1982), starring Jirí Menzel, Dagmar Havlová, Jana Brezková, Petr Cepek, and Jan Schmid. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market later this summer.
Descrition: From Juraj Herz – the award-winning writer/director of MORGIANA, THE NINTH HEART, THE CREMATOR and subversive genius of the Czech New Wave – comes the disturbing shocker driven by cultural provocation, political paranoia and a supercharged take on the vampire mythos, now on disc for the first time ever in America: When Ferat Motors introduces a new high-performance sports car, a trauma doctor investigates a bizarre theory that the vehicle is a biological machine fueled by human blood. Jirí Menzel (director of the Oscar®-winning CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS), Dagmar Havlová (former First Lady of the Czech Republic) and the iconic Škoda 110 Super Sport star in this "deeply weird horror thriller with sci-fi overtones and a touch of Cronenberg" (House of Self Indulgence), restored by Národní Filmový Archiv and Severin Films with over 5 hours of new & archival Special Features curated exclusively for this release.
